I have added the following point containing the minimal path conventions to http://cygwin.com/setup.html:
* The package is configured using the following paths: --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir='$(sbindir)' --localstatedir=/var --datadir='$(prefix)/share' That results in locale being in /usr/share as just discussed related to the nano package.
